The story of WineX is as rich as the culture it preserves. It began almost 50 years ago and now attracts a wine-savvy crowd of up to 10 000 attendees in Gauteng and hosts regional shows across the country.
Standard Bank Private was recently announced as the title sponsor of the annual festival. Bridgette Kruger, Head of Private Banking Clients at Standard Bank, comments: “The event has always been a major highlight on the South African wine event calendar and acts as an invaluable platform to showcase some of the country's best wines.”
“WineX promises three nights of laid-back mingling and extraordinary taste sensations.” – Lindy-Lou Alexander, Head of Marketing for Personal and Private Banking South Africa at Standard Bank.
Making the Most of Simple Pleasures
At the festival, visitors can sample wines, Champagnes, Cap Classiques, ports and pot-still brandies from over 150 exhibitors, the who’s who of the South African wine scene. The line-up includes over 800 wines, most of which are from the Cape, together with a selection of international wines and champagnes.Additionally, there will be specialty meats, olives, cheese and chocolates as well as an opportunity for wine-lovers to pause between tasting to enjoy a light meal or a wholesome snack. We recommended getting some food in between tastings, not only does it cleanse the palate, but it helps you enjoy the festival for longer. Don't forget to hydrate. There is plenty of water around the stalls. We recommend an Uber, Bolt or ride share with a designated driver who only came for the snacks because who doesn't love a cheese plate?
